US appeals court says Noem's decision to end protections for Venezuelans in US Was Illegal

A federal appeals court ruled late Wednesday that the Trump administration acted illegally when it ended legal protections that gave hundreds of thousands of people from Venezuela permission to live and work in the United States.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that found Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem exceeded her authority when she ended temporary protected status for Venezuelans.

The decision, however, will not have any immediate practical effect after the U.S. Supreme Court in October allowed Noem's decision to take effect pending a final decision by the justices.

In an email statement on Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security blasted the ruling as a “lawless and activist order from the federal judiciary" and said federal judges continue to “undermine our immigration laws.”

The judges, OTOH, are in fact upholding our nations ACTUAL immigration laws.
